Tips and Tidbits
My
little brother's favorite ice cream is cherries, pecans and
cream. For his birthday last year I created this cake
with him in mind. It was a big hit, and it looks so
pretty when you are finished. |

Cherries,
Pecans and Cream Cake
|
1 white cake
mix (plus ingredients to prepare)
1-8 ounce tub Cool Whip
1 tub white icing |
1 large can
cherry pie filling
1 1/2 cups pecan halves.
|
Prepare cake mix according to package directions and bake in 2
9 inch round pans. Allow cakes to cool completely.
Place bottom cake on cake platter (protect with small sheets
of wax paper if you like). Mix icing and cool whip
together and frost the top of the cake with a small bit of the
mixture. Spread 3/4 can pie filling on top of the
frosting and add a layer of pecan halves (reserving several to
decorate the top). Place second layer cake on top and
frost both cakes with the icing/cool whip mixture.
Garnish by placing remaining pie filling in center of cake and
making a ring around the edge with the pecan halves.
